Our expert inspectors have the knowledge and tools to detect hidden mold growth and provide detailed reports on elevated levels.

Why Get a Mold Surface Test With NORTH?
A Mold Test is more than just a routine service; it's essential for protecting the health and integrity of your home. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure, so it's crucial to act quickly if mold is suspected. If left untreated, surface mold can consume organic materials like wood, drywall, and insulation, leading to decay, warping, and weakening of your home's structural components.
How Does a Mold Surface Test Work?
During a Mold Test with NORTH, our certified inspectors will examine surfaces in your home for mold. In some instances, a Mold Air Test may also be necessary.
